Public procurement in construction. Suggestions for improvement

Introduction. The first article of the series showed the main results of the analysis of regulatory documents on the organization of tenders for construction and design work in leading foreign countries. The second article analyzes the main provisions of the domestic tender legislation concerning the construction, reconstruction and design of capital construction facilities. This article is the final article of the cycle; it proposes a concept for the public procurement for construction projects and works. Materials and methods. The authors tried not to touch on legal issues. They were mainly interested in organizational and economic problems faced by participants in the construction process. Therefore, various schemes of construction organization and models of behavior of participants in the created configurations of relationships were considered. New definitions of the basic concepts in the scope of normative documents are given. Results. As a result of the study, the rules of conduct of participants in tender procedures – customers and applicants (designers, contractors) are proposed. At the same time, three phases of the object’s life cycle are considered: preparation for bidding, bidding and execution of contracts. There are two main types of the subject of the contract –– complex and particular contracts. For the first time, it is proposed to limit the indirect costs of manufacturers of materials, structures and equipment, which can lead to curbing inflation in construction. Conclusions. It is advisable to initiate the development and adoption of a federal law on public procurement in the field of capital construction. It is necessary to consider the conclusion of complex contracts for the construction of facilities and private contracts for the performance of works, the supply of equipment and materials, and the provision of services. The contract with the technical customer should provide for a time reserve in comparison with the obligations of partial contractors.
